Amy Holland Lyrics
"A Few Short Hours"

Early in the morning
Before the night has shed its coat of darkness
And I remember how to be
The one that everyone expects to see
There's a certain light of innocence
Before I put my soldiers on the line
The border between love and fear
As the world I left behind appears

For a few short hours
Everything is possible
I forget the game and all the rules
That hold my spirit in
For a few short hours
I remember who I really am
In the colors of the rising sun
Before the day begins
For a few short hours

Early in the morning
Before I put my dreams away
If I can put a pen to paper
Or some colors on a canvas
I surprise myself before the traffic fills
The deserted empty streets
Where the buyers and the sellers meet
I love the inspiration

For a few short hours
Everything is possible
I forget the game and all the rules
That hold my spirit in
For a few short hours
I remember who I really am
In the colors of the rising sun
Before the day begins
For a few short hours

We all do what we have to do to get by
But in the land between dreaming and the world
I can fly

For a few short hours
Everything is possible
I forget the game and all the rules
That hold my spirit in
For a few short hours
I remember who I really am
In the colors of the rising sun
Before the day begins
For a few short hours
